Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is one of our main service areas at Northwest AHEC. We provide a myriad of learning activities throughout the year for all healthcare disciplines. Many who attend these activities are doing so to earn continuing education credits that keep licensure requirements current. While it is important, earning CE credits doesn't need to be the only motivating factor. So why not create a new path to enhance your career and earning potential by discovering new ways to expand your knowledge as a lifelong learner?
Improving the way opioids are prescribed through clinical practice guidelines can ensure patients have access to safer, more effective chronic pain treatment while reducing the number of people who misuse, abuse or overdose from these drugs. Northwest AHEC has assembled faculty who are subject matter experts in the field and produced ten online modules to serve all types of health care professionals.
Healthy eating is built on the ability to prepare tasty and nutritious food at home. This blended virtual learning experience will provide you with a good understanding of how to improve your personal health and the health of your patients. The format for this activity includes four and a half hours of mandatory online learning modules to be completed prior to the live virtual event.
During the live virtual event, participants will receive instruction via cooking demonstrations with Chef N’Gai Dickerson and Dr. Joey Skelton followed by a question and answer session with all presenters.

The Northwest AHEC Practice Support Team is committed to promote understanding and improve the orientation of Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) for North Carolinians. In order to support these goals, we will share a publication on SDOH each month on our Practice Support Blog. This week, we would like to introduce an article "Suburban Families' Experience With Food Insecurity Screening in Primary Care Practices" from PubMed.Gov. Our practice support team has identified this article as a valuable resource to healthcare professionals in our region. The article touches on a number of food insecurity issues which enable the healthcare provider to look at the patient as a whole person instead of a specific condition in order to improve overall health outcomes.
